Bacon 'n' Onion Carrots for Two

Annacia's Note:

Besides being colorful, this side dish pairs well with most meats…pork, beef or poultry. It's a fitting vegetable for autumn meals. The mild sweet flavor of the carrots is enhanced by the bacon and onion combination.

Great carrots. The sweetness from the brown sugar and the salty bacon are wonderful together. Made as written and would not change a thing. Going into my Best of cookbook. Made for Everyday Holiday.
